The Department has prepared
a Draft Permit and has made a tentative determination to
approve this application. The applicant, a New York Housing Development, produces
electricity, heating and cooling for the development. The facility has four identical
combustion engineering boilers and three identical Nordberg large bore compression
ignition engines. In this permit modification, Starrett City proposes an alternate NOx
RACT emission limit of 5.4 grams/brhp-hr for the three internal combustion engines
because the presumptive NOx RACT emission limit of 2.3 grams/brhp-hr as per the
recently revised subpart 227-2.4(f)(2)(ii) is not economically feasible for Starrett City
engines. This higher NOx emission limit has been approved by the Department and will
be forwarded to USEPA for their review as a revision to the State Implementation Plan.

In accordance with 6NYCRR
Parts 621.5(d)(9) and 201-6.4(c), the Administrator of the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has the authority to bar
issuance of any Title V Facility Permit if it is determined not to be in compliance with
applicable requirements of the Clean Air Act or 6NYCRR Part 201.

Persons wishing to inspect
the subject Title V files, including the application with all
relevant supporting materials, the draft permit, and all other materials available to the
DEC (the "permitting authority") that are relevant to this permitting decision should
contact the DEC representative listed below. It is recommended that an appointment be
made to confirm the availability of the subject files. The DEC will endeavor to make the
files available within 2 business days of contact, during normal business hours (8:30 am
through 4:45 pm), unless the requestor wishes to inspect the files at a later date.

DEC will evaluate the application
and the comments received on it to determine whether
to hold a public hearing. A public hearing may be legislative or adjudicatory. A
legislative public hearing is a proceeding which provides an additional opportunity for
public comment. DEC's determination to hold a legislative public hearing will be based
on whether a significant degree of public interest exists. If a legislative public hearing
is
to be held, a Notice of Hearing will be published which will include the time and place of
the hearing and submitting comments. The applicant and all persons who have filed
comments on the permit will be notified by mail of the public hearing. Comments and
requests for a legislative public hearing should be in writing and addressed to the
Department representative listed below.

An adjudicatory public hearing
is a trial type proceeding which provides the opportunity
for adjudication on the basis of evidence, including direct testimony and cross
examination. An adjudicatory hearing is held only if substantive and significant issues
relating to any findings or determinations the Department is required to make pursuant to
the Environmental Conservation Law exist. A copy of the Department's permit hearing
procedures is available upon request or on the Department web site at:

Permit(s) Applied for:

Article 19 Air State Facility

Project is Located:

Queens, Queens County

Project Description:

The Department has made
a tentative determination to approve an application for an
existing facility primarily engaged in newspaper printing. The facility operates five
printing presses that utilize volatile organic compound (VOC)-based inks. The VOC
potential to emit from these printing operations is approximately 10 tons per year. The
purpose of this permit modification is to allow the installation and operation of four
identical diesel-fueled generators (each rated at 2,000 kilowatts) having a combined
electrical output of 8,000 kilowatts. In addition to regular testing and emergency use,
these four generators are intended for participation in a peak load management, or
demand response, program within the framework of the state's Coordinated Demand
Reduction Program (CDRP).The facility is subject to the provisions of 6NYCRR 201-5.
Overall facility emissions are to be capped below Title V, RACT for NOx, and NSR
applicability thresholds.The application, draft permit, relevant supporting materials and
regulations are available for review during normal business hours at the DEC office
provided in this notice. Comments of support or objection may be made by filing a
written statement by the deadline date indicated. DEC may schedule a public hearing
based upon an evaluation of the nature and scope of any written objections raised.
Hearing notices will contain instruction on filing for party status and submitting
comments.
